Why an estimate spread rather than exact distance?

Because this is an orienteering route running race you easily can end up running more depending how good your or your team is at navigating the map route and locating each of the suspects or clues in the M**der mystery. Thus the exact amount of distance will be up to your or your team. Worth noting though. Almost every player who has particpated in this race has said that time and distance was irrelevant as they have so much fun navigating and solving the mystery, they don't even realize they are running a potentially long distance.
